Over the past few years, sushi has experienced a remarkable boom in Austria, beloved by locals and visitors alike. As a country defined by its lakes and exceptional freshwater fish, the concept feels almost inevitable. Stages of Taste lifts the curtain on the most exciting sushi addresses to visit this summer.
Das Attersee
Set on the shores of Lake Attersee, nestled in the heart of Austria’s Salzkammergut region, one of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes, Das Attersee has established itself as the lake’s most stylish summer destination. With its effortless boho aesthetic, a youthful gastronomic concept and the coolest sundowner bar in the area, it is the place to be when the sun slowly dips behind the mountains.
Upstairs, on the first floor, Das Bar reopened this summer with its stylish pop-up concept Sip & Sushi, which celebrates fresh, creative sushi creations, perfectly paired with handcrafted cocktails and a curated selection of wines. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and dramatic alpine scenery, the pop-up delivers laid-back afterwork vibes with DJ-Beats, ideal for long summer evenings and breathtaking sunsets.

SeeSushi
Arguably the most renowned address for regional sushi in Austria, SeeSushi is located in the charming lakeside village of Strobl on Lake Wolfgang, surrounded by Alpine peaks and pristine nature. But not only! The concept of award-winning chef Dominik Edlinger has already successfully expanded to the city of Vienna. This summer, the third location opened – a brand-new lakeside gem at Achensee in Tyrol!
Edlinger, who previously worked at high-end culinary destinations in Dubai and New York, developed the concept together with his sister Viktoria and opened SeeSushi initially within the family-run Hotel Bergrose in Strobl. Here, freshwater fish sourced from the surrounding region is transformed into refined, precise sushi.
“We combine the influences and experiences we’ve gathered around the world with Austrian products,” the hosts explain. “Not overly hyper-regional, but in a way that reflects how we imagine a sustainable future – economically, ecologically and socially.” A carefully curated wine list focuses on young, vibrant producers who share this philosophy.

Linde Seebar
Far from the main tourist routes, on the tranquil southern shore of Lake Wörthersee, lies Maria Wörth, home to its iconic church perched on a small peninsula, one of Austria’s most photographed postcard motifs. At this picture-perfect location sits Hotel Linde, long regarded as one of the lake’s finest addresses for both hospitality and cuisine.
Directly at the water’s edge, the Linde Seebar has built a reputation for its diverse sushi selection, seamlessly integrated into a Mediterranean-Asian menu. With its private marina and what many consider the most beautiful sunset on Lake Wörthersee, the Seebar delivers the full lakeside experience – effortless, scenic and unmistakably summery.

This summer, Seespitz partners with Vienna’s acclaimed Japanese restaurant Mochi, enriching the menu with a curated selection of signature Mochi dishes, bringing urban Japanese excellence to one of Austria’s most elegant lakeside settings.
